Chris Long Doesn't Want to Be Your Anti-Colin Kaepernick

The Eagles defensive end who donated his entire salary to charity isn't here for Kap-bashing.

Chris Long has been getting a lot of attention since he appeared on CBS This Morning earlier in December. The segment focused on the Eagles defensive end's charitable donations and giving back to his community; more specifically, it was about how Long donated his entire base salary for 2017, roughly $1 million, to educational charities. And while a lot of fans have praised it as the insanely generous gesture that it is, some out there saw it more as a chance to bash Colin Kaepernick.

In fact, Long quickly joined J.J. Watt as the NFL players who really deserved the accolades and attention that Kaepernick has been getting in the wake of his protests against police brutality. But if you were looking to Long to be the white anti-Kaepernick of your dreams, he wants you to start looking elsewhere. He took to Twitter for an epic rant where he clarified not only his thoughts on Kaepernick (and him being named GQ's Citizen of the Year), but also his stance on the NFL protests.
